The Foucault Reader: An Introduction to Foucault’s Thought

This selection of transcribed interviews and extracts from major works, including Discipline and Punish, The History of Sexuality and Madness and Civilization, introduces the key Foucauldian relationship between knowledge and power, and how it works to objectify and manipulate the individual. An authoritative introduction by editor Paul Rabinow tackles Foucaultâ€s ‘three modes of objectificationâ€: institutional isolation, scientific classification and self-objectification.
